Wat Arun

You can climb about half way up the central tower.  The view from the there is spectacular but the climb is not for the faint hearted.   Everyone clings to the hand rails and does not look back until reaching the walkway.

Coming down is as bad if not worse.  The descent is made backwards, again clinging to the hand rails.

Cats are everywhere.  They all seem to have mutated tails.  The story goes that a Thai princess needed a place to put her rings while bathing.  The cats tail was the ideal size but they kept slipping off, so all cats developed a kink in their tails to oblige her.

Around the base of this wonderful temple are market stalls where tourists and monks visiting from rural areas can pick up some souvenirs of their visit.
